Construction work will start in late March with preparatory earthworks, before piling begins in late spring and steelwork in June 2015. The building is programmed to allow the first retailers to start fit out work in August 2016, for the scheme to open in the spring of 2017.
The scheme is being developed by the Bracknell Regeneration Partnership (BRP), a 50:50 joint venture between Legal & General Capital and Schroder UK Property Fund, together with Bracknell Forest Council.
Mace chief operating officer Gareth Lewis said: “I am delighted that Mace has been appointed main contractor for this significant regeneration scheme for Bracknell. Mace has a strong track record locally, having completed the construction of Garth Hill College in 2011. We’re pleased to be working again with both Legal & General and Schroders. The regeneration project will have a positive impact on Bracknell and local community and we can’t wait to get started.”
